National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on
former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the national leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and
other presidential aspirants to raise money in order to meet the
demands of the striking university lecturers.
The student body made the appeal in a statement, signed by the
chairman of NANS, Ogun State Joint Campus Committee (JCC),
Comrade Kehinde Damilola Simeon.
It would be recalled that members of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) had extended their strike last Monday.
Some of the demands of ASUU include: revitalisation of public
universities, earned academic allowances and the deployment of
the University Transparency and Accountability Solution for payment
of university lecturers.
NANS said the appeal came following the failure of the federal
government to accede to the demands of the striking lecturers.
The student body therefore urged all presidential aspirants to come
to the rescue of Nigerian students towards ensuring that public
universities are reopened.
“All the presidential aspirants, especially those from the ruling APC
and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) must rise up and come to
the rescue of Nigerian students.
“If truly the aspirants mean well for Nigerians as they are claiming
and if they have the love of Nigerian students at heart, they should
raise the fund to meet the demands of ASUU, since the federal
government has failed woefully in its commitment to improving the
education sector.
“Today in Nigeria both university and polytechnic education is
paralysed due to the ongoing strike actions by both members of
ASUU and ASUP. It is very unfortunate and unacceptable.
“Nigerian students hereby call on the presidential aspirants, in the
spirit of patriotism and in the interest of development to rally round
Nigerian students.
“All of these aspirants paid a huge amount of money to procure
their nomination forms, so donating funds to rescue the tertiary
education in Nigeria should not be too difficult for them.
“It is only by doing this, that Nigerian students and Nigerians in
general will respect and show support for their ambitions.”

Good idea If really all this presidential aspirants want to rescue Nigeria let all of them come together and raise money to give to ASUU. So that students can go back to class. That should be the first litmus test for them. But wait o NANS why excluding Osinbanjo or do you think He is only a mere Commissioner

NANS is a confuse body

I wander why they didn't ask Obi, Osinbanjo, Dangote, Adenuga etc to also raise money for them.

It is well ooo.
